Here are three more very useful websites for TOEIC or Business English listening practice:
For British accent training, listening and reading practice, vocabulary building, and several other useful language learning resources, go to BBC Learning English.
Also check out ESL Podcards, which gives you accent training from countries like Australia, England, Canada, and the United States. Quite useful for students who feel nervous about comprehending different accents. MP3 files and transcripts available. You can download and study the transcripts before listening, or just read and listen together. The podcasts are all fairly short, which Coach True thinks is better TOEIC and Business English training than listening to long reports.
And for everyday-use English listening practice, try Randall’s ESL Cyber Listening Lab. There are exercises with each lesson, and the recordings are typically short and easy to handle. The site also separates the listening practice lessons among easy, medium, and difficult categories.
There are rich learning resources on each of these sites. I encourage you to use them as you practice TOEIC or Business English listening.
Good luck with your listening practice.

That was a good post, giving some of the more prominent sites for English practice. Another pretty good one is ELLO. they have some good practice features, too. I agree with your comments on the ESL podcards… being able to read and hear is very important. Also, short passages makes them more accessible and digestible for the average learner (those pressed for time).
Good work
